Uncov­er ties to Spring­wood Capital’s $200,000 loss, Brent Herrin’s role with David Shafer ties. Delve into Burt Jones’ flip-flop­ping on elec­tion fraud, Chris Carr’s estab­lish­ment stance, and Bri­an Kemp’s alleged quid pro quo with Derek Dooley’s Sen­ate run against Jon Ossoff. Dis­cov­er how Trump’s endorse­ments, Kel­ly Loeffler’s appoint­ment, and Kemp’s ambi­tions inter­twine in this high-stakes polit­i­cal dra­ma. 

• Fani Willis indicts Don­ald J Trump and indicts 3 elec­tors. David Shafer, the for­mer chair­man of the GAGOP, he went through a lit­tle hell by Fani Willis and the courts. 
• Now we have the Frost Ponzi scheme who tar­get­ed repub­li­cans and left investors and politi­cians reel­ing. Talk show pun­dits who pro­mot­ed it as an oppor­tu­ni­ty for Chris­tians and Amer­i­ca First MAGA patri­ots… John Fred­er­icks. John Fred­er­icks is look­ing for cov­er right now because he might have a prob­lem. 
• David Shafer received dona­tions from the Frost fam­i­ly for his unsuc­cess­ful 2018 Lt gov­er­nor cam­paign. David Shafer for­mer chair of the GAGOP, they were wrong­ful­ly indict­ed Fani Willis, and the repub­li­can par­ty had a hard time rais­ing mon­ey, and the repub­li­can par­ty vowed to pay attor­ney fees for the 3 elec­tors but the com­pa­ny that David Shafer runs Spring­wood cap­i­tal lost $200,000 invest­ed in Frist LIb­er­ty. HIs attor­ney is Brent Her­rin, is this the same Brent Her­rin that reg­is­tered all the repub­li­can coali­tions across the state, very good friends with Bri­an Kemp and Josh McK­oon. McK­oon who also received mon­ey from Frost fam­i­ly han­dled Spring­wood Capital’s incor­po­ra­tion papers. McK­oon said he didn’t lose any mon­ey… he got out just in time.  When did David Shafer invest in FLBL? Did the Frost fam­i­ly have influ­ence over the GAGOP? 
• In an endorse­ment from Don­ald Trump comes the MAGA hat. We have two can­di­dates for gov­er­nor of Geor­gia. Burt Jones has worn the MAGA hat and has in the past said that the 2020 elec­tion was stolen and was an indictee but was able to get the charges dropped. Then we have Chris Carr who has nev­er worn the MAGA hat and is a very estab­lish­ment repub­li­can. He defend­ed the state posi­tion in court for the 2020 elec­tion, has nev­er acknowl­edged the 2020 elec­tion was stolen. 
• In a recent inter­view Burt Jones did not admit the 2020 elec­tion was stolen from the Amer­i­can peo­ple. Burt Jones did not stand up for the truth in the elec­tion when he was asked the ques­tion. 
• Geor­gia First is already send­ing out the donor fundrais­ing for Derek Doo­ley. Bri­an Kemp dis­re­gards Don­ald Trump, Insur­ance Com­mis­sion­er John King, Bud­dy Carter, dis­re­gards every­one and pulls in Derek Doo­ley. We know that Kemp grew up with the Doo­ley broth­ers. Bri­an Kemp did not bring Derek Doo­ley into the cam­paign to beat Jon Ossoff. There is always a quid pro quo. Remem­ber the Purdue’s went to Don­ald Trump to go against the grain to help out the Pur­due to endorse Kemp. Then gets the endorse­ment from Trump to beat Stacey Abrams. Bri­an Kemp doesn’t think Don­ald Trump did any­thing for him, now it comes time to fill John­ny Isak­son seat… quid pro quo we think Kemp owed Kel­ly Loef­fler and appoint­ed her because there was a lot of smoke and just a coin­ci­dence that Bri­an Kemp was made whole. Now what is Kemp get­ting this time. Bri­an Kemp is going to be out of a job in 2026. Is he going to get a posi­tion to run for pres­i­dent? Keep an eye on what Kemp is get­ting on this deal? Will he get a skim off the top? Derek Doo­ley, a new­bie, run­ning against the most well fund­ed Sen­ate cam­paign in the coun­try? It is not about win­ning. Bri­an Kemp and Cody Hall are say­ing to Derek Doo­ley to pre­tend that your vot­ing record and past didn’t exist they will spend the mon­ey to get peo­ple to for­get it. 
• You can­not be MAGA and Amer­i­ca First and talk about Kemp in the same breath. 
• Doo­ley on day one was con­cerned about Covid, Alvin Bragg, open bor­der but he couldn’t go to the vot­ing booth, he couldn’t open his check­book, he couldn’t sup­port Don­ald Trump.
